Saving Starlight Hall
About the Book:
Nestled deep in the countryside lies Starlight Croft – population small, gossip levels high, and secrets harder to hide than a cow in a phone box.
Jen Armstrong thought she had life more or less under control – marriage ticking along, teenagers on the right side of the law – until hubby Peter unexpectedly demises leaving Jen suddenly single, hugging a secret, and trying very hard not to fall apart in front of the entire village.
Just when things couldn’t get messier a For Sale sign appears. The community centre – the only place big enough to host Pilates and the local psychic’s séance nights – goes up for sale.
Cue The Starlight Society: a mismatched crew of locals with hearts of gold, questionable strategies and Jen reluctantly roped in to assist. Their mission? Raise the cash to save the hall before a charming-but-infuriating property developer named Liam Lancaster possibly turns it into a boutique hotel with mood lighting and tufty towels.
Can they pull it off? Will the hall survive? Might a secret be unwittingly revealed? And can Jen resist throttling an enemy who has the most annoyingly twinkly eyes?
A feel-good romantic comedy where love, lies, and livestock collide.
My Review:
Saving Starlight Hall is the second book in the Starlight series. Another wonderful women's fiction novel, this installment focuses on Jen Armstrong. Recently widowed, Jen struggles with her new normal, while also harboring a secret that threatens to break her. At the wake for her husband, Jen meets a striking handsome man who is unfamiliar to her. As she's being introduced to the newcomer, it's revealed that the town's beloved Starlight Hall has been put up for sale, and Jen's new friend is public enemy #1.
Liam Lancaster enters Starlight Hall to do a quick run through before submitting his bid for Starlight Hall, not expecting it to be filled with townsfolk. Or, hosting a wake for a recently deceased member of the community. When he's introduced to the widow, sparks fly - both good (chemistry) and bad (he's a developer destined to destroy Starlight Hall).
I really enjoyed Jen and Liam's story. They are wonderful, multi-dimensional characters and I loved getting to know them. I enjoyed watching Jen and Liam grow closer, work through some difficult situations, personal revelations, and current decisions. The author's descriptions of Starlight Croft are vivid, and I felt like I was right there in the story.
I enjoyed the author's writing style, pacing of the story, and character development. The story is realistic and shows that everyone has imperfections. There is plenty of emotion, passion, and realism. I was completely engaged in the book from the first sentence.
